People think that reaching their goals involves a lot of work. The truth of the matter is that we get in our own way. We want to make things complicated because we were conditioned to think that life is complicated. There's this notion that you have to struggle to be successful or that you have to prove your worth by showing that you've scrapped.
We are born with certain advantages and disadvantages we can't control. However, we sometimes get into this comparison war with others discussing who has more of a disadvantage like it's a badge of honor. Some will even take it further by finding struggles to put upon themselves to show that they too know what it's like to live with disadvantages.
Tell me how it makes sense to put yourself in situations that people are trying to get themselves out of. Yes, we all have issues that we have to get past. We have to play with the hand we are dealt. So accept it and move on, instead of thriving on being or becoming a victim. Use your strengths, take advantage of those advantages, and make the most of your time while you have it. And maybe the struggles won't be so relevant anymore.
